% 17.08.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 is present in Court along with his counsel and accepts notice. He has been identified by ASI Manmohan of police station Delhi Cantt.

Respondent no.2 submits that he has settled the matter with the petitioner of his own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, vide Compromise Deed dated 16.11.2017. The petitioner has paid a sum of ₹1,00,000/- to respondent no.2 vide a demand draft, copy whereof

has been placed on record.

Respondent no.2 submits that he has no objection in case FIR No.270/2015 under Section 279/338 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 166 & 140 of the Motor Vehicles Act, police station-Delhi Cantt. and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Dasti.
